Entrez Searches Seven Texts on the Bookshelf
The growing list of Entrez databases now includes Books, which contains
information from seven textbooks related to molecular biology. To search
these texts directly in Entrez, select Books from the database
menu and enter a text query. For example, try the terms cell cycle control,
immunodeficiency, or protein evolution. This will take you to the Bookshelf
page, with a report of the number of sections from each book that contain
information relevant to your query. Following a link leads to a display
of the relevant book sections, including a figure icon for sections that
contain figures.
The Books database is also linked to terms in PubMed abstracts. When view-ing
an abstract, click on the Books link to see phrases within the
abstract that are hyperlinked to book sections.
